Am I the only one that is annoyed by jumping through the hoops for downloads from rapidshare and the like?

I use Firefox with greasemonkey so I just click the link and it does everything for me and I wait 5 minutes for it to download.

Care to elaborate? Cause the term greasemonkey covers a broad range of tweaks.

I agree. It is absurd to me that anyone is using Rapidshare. It is the worst download service ever. Megaupload is only marginally better. There are a LOT of much better, free, sites for sharing and your setup looks to be the best. However, unfortunately, most people are not able to change nor acknowledge things that are better than what they have, so I doubt this will ever catch on. Sad...

Check out the SkipScreen plugin for Firefox, best plugin I've ever installed after Adblock plus. And Megaupload is not really bad at all, 25-45 second wait and my downloads usually range 700k-1200kbps, it works in Opera Mobile and it's free for both users and uploaders, what's better than free?

Also I really don't know anyone who downloads a rom directly to their storage card on their PPC most people just download it on their computers don't they?
